If you're looking to build an army, the First Order Stormtrooper Executioner (The Black Series 3 3/4-Inch) is pretty good. Walmart has a super-articulated version of the figure, and Toys R Us has one with a Force Link pack at a higher price. If you can find this one, get it. Read on!
Newish! The Rey (The Last Jedi Line Look) comes with a poncho, lightsaber, and blaster - but under it all, she's a lot like the Resistance Rey from 2016, albeit with a new sculpt and fancy sound chip. Read on!
Today we look at the Elite Praetorian Guard (The Black Series 6-Inch)! In the movie they were awesome - but the figures are a little tough to pose, even with elbow joints. Should you build an army? Read on!
Ad: Get a new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Battle on Crait 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure Set at Entertainment Earth! You can pre-order yours right now - it's expected in March. The four pack has three new figures and one with new salty deco, and it's $27.99.
Speaking of Toys R Us, their exclusive First Order Officer (The Black Series 6-Inch) is today's Figure of the Day! He has a removable cap, tons of articulation, and comes with Admiral Ackbar. I anticipate you will want to buy this, either now or in the coming weeks while you still can. Read on!
If you haven't yet got him, the Admiral Ackbar (The Black Series 6-Inch) is probably at a Toys R Us near you right now. He has a cool blaster, an opening mouth, and one of the better alien paint jobs I've seen in a while - I like it. Read on!
Ad: Catch up on Star Wars at Entertainment Earth! These exclusive Hasbro Star Wars action figures. You won't find these in American big box stores, so be sure to place your pre-order today - and don't miss Bistan and the Shoretrooper!
C'ai Threnalli is a new character with removable helmet and a Force Link chip. The Flame Trooper is posed with both hands on the weapon and a new pose, perfect for troop building. Finn vs. Phasma brings the duel from the end of the movie to life, with a new pike for Phasma and a new pose on the figure plus an all-new 3 3/4-inch Finn in First Order disguise.
In the old days, we'd see the same figure sold for year - now we're getting minor changes not just in the toys, but the movies too. The First Order Stormtrooper (The Last Jedi Line Look) has a new helmet, a second blaster, and a slightly different pose in addition to its sound chip. Is it time to build another army? Read on!
Let's start the new year with a figure that's really good, but kind of boring. Finn (Resistance Fighter) looks a lot like the Jakku version of the hero from the last movie, thanks in part to the hair, blaster, jacket being the same. The shirt, pants, and boots are new. It's a good figure and - surprisingly - a lot of slow-to-sell figures seem to be evaporating at my local big box stores. If you can still find Finn, should you get him? Read on!
Things like this didn't happen for new movies when George was still around. Poe Dameron (Resistance Pilot, The Last Jedi Line Look) is a new mold - and that's why I hate it. If it were a repack, it'd be a repack - an economic necessity. If you look closely and compare it to The Force Awakens Poe figures, the textures are new, there are changes to the copyright markings, and it has added wrist joints. But the wrinkles on his uniform are identical. The head sculpt still lacks heroic scruff. They made an entirely new mold for a figure that the hardcore fan already has two, perhaps three times over. Is it worth buying this individually carded figure? Read on!
Available at a Toys R Us near you, this Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,440: Rey (The Black Series 6-Inch, Premium Exclusive) is a wee bit more expensive than will likely make you happy. She has a planet-specific base that isn't quite true to the movie scenes, but there are die-cast metal accessories and more bruising. You get a lot of stuff in a nicely-sized box, but is it worth tracking down? Eh. Read on!
This is a good one. The General Leia Organa (The Last Jedi Line Look) has a good head sculpt and a nice paint job, a great improvement over the (let's say) distinctive eyebrows from the last movie's 3 3/4-inch Leia. Should you get one? Yes. But still, read on.
If you've been to Target you probably saw the Luke Skywalker (The Black Series 6-Inch, Premium Exclusive). It's good - but it's $10 more than the regular one for a stand, a metal hand, and some cloth parts. Is it worth the upcharge, or rebuy? Read on!
I saw The Last Jedi last night, but I wrote the review of BB-9E (Droid Factory Line Look) a couple of weeks ago so as to avoid spoilers for you all. It's a nice figure! It looks good! And yes, this is the Disney one - we'll look at Hasbro's shortly. Read on!
